Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats Announce Australian tour 2026

The band returns down under for the first time in six years.

Psychedelic doom monsters Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats return to Australian shores this December.

Last here in 2020, the UK heavyweights will perform tracks from across their cult catalogue, including their most recent release, 2024’s tribute to Italian cinema, Nell' Ora Blu.

Emerging from the British underground, Kevin Starrs and co have established themselves as one of heavy music’s most complex outfits.

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats' long-awaited return commences at Crowbar in Brisbane on Wednesday 2 December. Then it’s off to Sydney’s Crowbar on Thursday 3 December and Melbourne’s Croxton on Friday 4 December, followed by Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Sunday 6 December, before the tour wraps at Perth’s The Rechabite on Tuesday 8 December.

Pre-sale begins Wednesday 13 May at 9am AEST. Sign up for access here. General on-sale takes place Friday 15 May at 9am AEST via destroyalllines.com.

Formed by vocalist and guitarist Kevin Starrs in 2009, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats have gained a rep as one of the most compelling live acts in modern rock.

Described by their label as the “original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges,” Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats’ sound has an otherworldly feel that runs through the band’s six studio albums.

If that sounds like your bag, we recommend heading along to see Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats when they hit your city for a night of absorbing music you won’t forget.

Catch Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats at Lion Arts Factory on Sudnay 6 December. Ticketing information is available at destroyalllines.com.
